The Legend of the Farm Girl

Most of these 800 people had never seen the sea ship built by Yunfang. When they actually saw the sea ship, this behemoth shocked everyone. After the sea ship was launched into the river, the entire ship almost filled the entire river channel.

Yunfang could have built a bigger boat, but the river leading to the sea could only accommodate a boat of this size.

Only when the waters truly merge into the sea can these ships roam freely.

The boats Yunfang builds are primarily powered by sails, but she has recently been learning how to build steam engines.

If the steam engine could really be built and used on ships, it would be much more convenient and faster for them to return to their homeland from anywhere in the future.

But now is not the time to study these things, and Yun Fang does not have the ability to bring all the craftsmen on board. Even if she can research the steam engine, it is still unknown when she can build it.

After all the boats were moved to the surface, Yunfang and others began to board the boats one after another.

In order to ensure that no one on the eight ships would get lost, Yunfang connected the eight ships together with strong iron chains and iron rings.

Wooden boards can be placed between these chains and rings to allow soldiers to pass back and forth or exchange supplies if necessary.

This can also ensure that the eight ships can jointly withstand the wind and waves at sea.

In the past few years, Yunfang has spared no effort to train a number of captains, ensuring that each ship has three to four people who can safely drive the ship.

In short, after these preparations are made and all personnel are on board, these eight hundred people will set sail for the unknown continent.

Yunfang and Li Muwen would of course sit on the first boat, because Yunfang had to adjust the direction in time according to the knowledge she had and determine the location where they needed to replenish resources in time.

With the supplies on board, 800 people would not be able to make it to America.

Then Chu Xingyu must be in the same boat with Yunfang and Li Muwen.

At the moment of setting sail, Chu Xingyu, Yunfang and Li Muwen stood together on the bow of the ship.

The common people all knew that they were sent by the emperor to find a new continent, and they all thought that their journey was full of legends. Countless people raised their arms and shouted, hoping that they would have a safe journey.

There were also countless pairs of eyes staring at Chu Xingyu's direction, all the way to the sea outlet, watching him closely.

When he found out that Chu Xingyu really went out to sea with Yunfang and Li Muwen and never came back, he immediately turned around and went back to report.

The ship built by Yunfang is the most advanced ship in the world. It travels faster than most ships. Yunfang chose to set out on a favorable wind. Today is a sunny day.

As soon as these ships entered the sea, they began to travel quickly, reaching a speed of thirty nautical miles per hour.

After the ships had been sailing for two hours, the coastline of the Qianyuan Dynasty could no longer be seen.

It was time for lunch, and Yunfang had already arranged who would cook on each boat.

There were plenty of supplies on the first day, but Yunfang did not allow anyone to waste them and had already prepared portions for those who cooked.

However, since we are sailing on the sea, resources cannot be wasted. Yunfang has already notified everyone that they can use the fishing rods on the boat to go fishing.

Each boat may dispose of the fish caught at its own discretion.

In addition, Yunfang actually made many plans. The 500 soldiers on board with her must exercise every day.

And she had to continue giving lectures, she had to make these 800 people keep a learning attitude at all times, keep growing and improving, so that these people could survive smoothly in the outside world.

If they are lazy and idle, they won't be able to return to the Qianyuan Dynasty even in 10 years.

Of course, life on the sea is definitely boring, and Yunfang cannot always be strict with them.

Yunfang also set up some entertainment activities on the boat, fishing is one of them, and there are many others.

Each boat sent the best fish caught in the morning to the first boat. Most of them were sent to Chu Xingyu by the soldiers. Although Chu Xingyu was only a seven-year-old child, they were loyal to the royal family and always put Chu Xingyu first, without any intention of neglecting him.

Of course, some were given to Yunfang by the caravan members. For the first meal on the first day on the ship, Yunfang asked each kitchen to cook fish.

The delicious taste of sea fish was very fresh to most people who had never been out to sea. They all began to look forward to the next trip. Even Chu Xingyu, who missed his father and mother, ate a lot.

However, in the future, as they sailed on the sea every day and smelled the salty smell of the sea breeze every day, they wondered if they would still like to eat the sea fish.

According to Yunfang's plan, the first step was for them to set out from Yiqing County, and it would take about six days to reach the first continent - Ryukyu.

Yunfang had already consulted all kinds of information about Ryukyu.

There were many ships traveling between Ryukyu and the Qianyuan Dynasty, most of which sold fish and fruits.

The fresh water on Yunfang's ship was used up very quickly. It needed to go to Ryukyu to stock up more. Besides, the fresh water storage capacity was limited after all, so it also had to buy as much fruit as possible.

If an unexpected situation occurs and we are unable to reach the next supply point designed by Yunfang on time, the fruit on the boat can allow everyone to hold on for a while longer.

During the days out to sea, everyone was very excited and strictly followed Yunfang's standards.

Because everyone had something to do every day and there was order amidst the chaos, there was no chaos at all among the nearly 800 people on the eight ships.

There was no sign of fatigue from the days of traveling on their faces. In fact, everyone was full of energy and looked radiant.

In this way, the group arrived at Ryukyu and took out the customs documents that the emperor had already prepared. Ryukyu was a small vassal state of the Qianyuan Dynasty at that time.

After seeing the Qianyuan Dynasty logo engraved on the eight ships and receiving the customs clearance documents, they did not dare to delay and immediately prepared the fresh water and fruits requested by Yunfang.

The Ryukyu Kingdom also sent its foreign minister to invite Prince Chu Xingyu to disembark and rest in Ryukyu.

Of course Chu Xingyu really wanted to get off the boat and play for a while. He was only a seven-year-old boy. He had been confined to the boat every day, looking at the same scenery, and he was already a little bored. Although the content of Yunfang's daily lessons was very interesting, he also wanted to go for a walk on the mainland.

Moreover, Ryukyu was a place he had only seen in books and had never set foot on. Although it was a vassal state of the Qianyuan Dynasty, it was also considered another country. How could the seven-year-old Chu Xingyu not be curious?

However, Yunfang and Li Muwen did not agree with his idea.

Yunfang and Li Muwen explained the whole situation to him. Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Qianyuan Dynasty and had business dealings with the Qianyuan Dynasty on a daily basis.

That means that other princes will set up spies here. If Chu Xingyu gets off the boat here, the other princes will suspect that he was sent out to find the New World as a trick, and he might be hurt or even lose his life.

It was not until this time that Chu Xingyu gradually understood that his father asked him to go to sea with Li Muwen not so that he could find a new continent, but to save his life.

He also had a premonition that it would be many years before he could return to the Qianyuan Dynasty.
